Benin Man Calls For Igbos Death After Canada-Based Woman’s Threat

The Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has condemned the inflammatory and dangerous statements made by one Kingsley Ugiagbe, a Nigerian residing in Vienna, Austria, threatening mass killings of Nigerians of Igbo extraction.

 

 

HURIWA called on the Federal Government to arrest and prosecute him immediately to prevent further escalation of ethnic tension.

Ugiagbe’s comments came in response to a threat made by Amaka Sonnberger, a Canada-based woman who advocated for the poisoning of specific ethnic groups, including Edo and Yoruba people. Notably, the Nigerian government had taken swift and decisive action against Amaka.

HURIWA demanded that the same level of commitment and pressure applied to Amaka’s case be applied in Ugiagbe’s case, stressing that hate speech and incitement to violence should be addressed wherever and whenever they occur.

“The same way Nigeria mounted pressure on the Canadian government, which led to the arrest and prosecution of Amaka Sonnberger, should be applied in the case of Kingsley Ugiagbe,” HURIWA’s statement said.

“The gravity of his threats cannot be ignored, and justice must be served. Hate speech and incitement to violence should be addressed wherever and whenever they occur, and those responsible must face the consequences of their actions.”
